Cory Monteith's Cause of Death Revealed

If you've read Jessica's moving post about Cory Monteith's death and her last interview with him or Megan's look back at our favorite Glee moments, then you know we've been grieving the star's much-too-soon passing. I wish I was here to chime into the conversation with something that better reflects how much I'll miss him—a look back at how Glee's influenced my life, something like that—but unfortunately, I come with bad news:

Cory Monteith's cause of death has been determined to be a "mixed drug toxicity" of heroin and alcohol, according to the B.C. Coroners Service.

The investigation continues, but according to their statement: "At this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident."

He was 31 years old. Too young.

We'll miss you, Cory.
